Reply from anne to kaytlin, Age 17 - 06/03/04 - IP#: 216.66.107.xxx actually- you're supposed to have less then 200 carbs on a 2000 calorie diet. you only get 20 for the first two weeks then you add in more and more each week. um- i suppose you don't believe any dead brilliant people? like the peop[le who invented the light bulb and electricity?! and atkin's wife who helped make the diet is alive and doing well and yes, i do believe her...lol...will i believe a dead guy?everyone does@! look at all of the dead inventors- it's the same thing!

Reply from anne, Age 17 - 06/02/04 - IP#: 216.66.107.xxx atkin's isn't unhealthy if you follow it correctly. and you re going to gain weight back of you go on any diet and then eat bad again. either way you turn make sure you're turning for life because that's the only long term solution. go to www.atkins.com to educate yourself if you feel like going on it. just remember that if you cheat at all it won't work. it's all or nothing. and in my opinion it's worth it. sugar was making me so hungry and having so many cravings and since i've been on the atkins for about the past week i haven't been feeling that way...
Reply from juststrange, Age 12 - 06/02/04 - IP#: 148.167.126.xxx try going on a diet that doesnt require a lifetime commitment. i suggest what the other poster said, wich is weightwatchers. the program gives you flex-points, wich alow you some treats, so you never feel deprived..............................atkins is very unhealthy for you, plus it aint to good for the enviorment either........good luck!
Reply from cat, Age 18 - 06/02/04 - IP#: 80.44.151.xxx my advice would be 2 forget atkins...its not something u could keep up 4 life...try weightwatchers....im on my 15th week and have lost 36.5lbs...its fantastic...the best program ever!!!!!! no forbidden foods!!! good luck with whatever u do xxxxxxxxxx
Reply from laurie, Age 21 - 06/02/04 - IP#: 62.64.162.xxx If you go back to eating how you don now after atkins, then yes you will gain the weight back. It's not worth going on it in all honesty! Sure you lose weight, but the short term side affects aren't that great, plus it puts lots of strain on some of your organs which can cause you lots of damage in the future! If you want to lose weight, do it the best way - senisible eating (lots of fruit and veg and lean white meats and fish - etc, and candy and chocolate in moderation), combined with 45-60 mins exercise a day!
